You see, it´s inspiring! Sorry that I can´t like your answers and other posts. One has to have an account with WordPress to do that.

The liking feature I suspect is special to WordPress. I think you could create a free but empty blog on WordPress, but it would be one more account to keep secure. WordPress also provides a “Reader” which organizes things a bit although I mainly use email messages. I may start a Blogger blog to better relate to people who use that platform for blogging, but I haven’t done it yet. I am afraid it might be counterproductive if I can’t link the Blogger blog back to this WordPress blog.

I thought that that was you.
I think you think I thought the thought
Perhaps that may be true?

This reminds me of how I thought I told someone my thought, but I only thought I told them. Or something like that.

Thanks, Ben! There is a philosophical side to this: who or what really is the “I” in Descartes claim, “I think therefore I am”.

A dear friend said recently all artists are thieves which she seemed to think I’d said in high school. Either way I think..part of the human experience is for all of us to arrive at the same distilled truths retold through 8 billion different love languages. ❤️

I don’t know where my thoughts come from. I’m aware of some of them and that awareness might trigger some neural activity in my brain that can be measured. That would belong to me alone but those neurons don’t cause the thoughts to happen that I’m aware of. They are a measurable shadow of those thoughts. Thinking seems to be a shared reality we all participate in.

There are a lot thoughts “out there”. I hope we catch the right ones! Thanks!

What I’m thinking at the moment is thoughts are out there and when we become aware of them and we think we are thinking them, but we are just aware of them. Thank you, Swapnil!
